Hello everyone,
we are about to start construction through a general contractor.
Now we are wondering about hiring an expert inspector. We initially planned to hire one for all construction phases. The seller agrees but advised us to save money by hiring the inspector only for the shell construction. According to them, it wouldn’t be worth it for the interior finishing.
What is your opinion on this, and do you have any experience?
Best regards
Michael

What exactly should be checked in the screed? You can tell yourself if something isn’t right.True; you also have a good understanding of proper installation, including the heating-up protocols, etc.
You can also assess the electrical and plumbing work yourself.

If you’re hiring a building inspector, they might as well oversee all phases (unless you have the experience yourself or know someone who does).

“People” here means engineers and software professionals...
And what does your “vendor” do for a living?
My advice: take the whole package. That includes everything from reviewing the construction contract to assisting with the final inspection.
